The Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat has launched a new initiative known as the AfCFTA Vision which is purposed to bring together financial institutions to share knowledge on how to implement the trade agreement in 2021.

The initiative, which is in partnership with the Sankoree Institute, an affiliate of AfroChampions, comes barely two weeks left to the Extraordinary Summit of African Union Heads of State on 5th December 2020, ahead of the expected start of trading under AfCFTA in Ghana.

According to a statement released by the AfCFTA Secretariat, the AfCFTA Vision initiative is aimed at “creating a platform for knowledge creation and sharing to help accelerate the pace of implementation of AfCFTA”.

“The initiative also creates room for entrepreneurial contests to find investable solutions that can propel AfCFTA to success with the backing of the continent’s development finance institutions,” the statement added.

Major African development financial institutions and other visionary financial institutions such as TDB, Africa50, AfDB, AFC, Equity Bank, Ecobank and Afreximbank will serve as the institutional jury for the AfCFTA Vision Challenge.

In order to allow for more digitized means of rolling out the Vision initiative, the Secretariat has also introduced a suite of apps collectively known as the Super-App.

The Super-App “shall serve as the base for a continental business registry, trade directory, cross-border trade facilitation network, and a dashboard for the private sector to interact with the upcoming Africa Trade Observatory”.

The App also offers a free trusted identity, known as the AfCFTA Number, to every AfCFTA actor, as well as a range of complementary tools to discover opportunities made available to all economic actors throughout the continent in the wake of AfCFTA, according to the statement.
